Comments: Go for gold with the Umarex SA10! This dual-ammo pistol fires both steel BBs and .177 pellets at speeds up to 420 FPS with snappy blowback action. The unique design features a ported metal slide that reveals a gold rifled barrel and breech block underneath. Along with the adjustable sights, you can dial in your aim by attaching a laser sight to the tactical rail. It uses a unique drop out magazine that holds four rotary clips, which makes reloading a breeze.
I really want to give a better rating than 4, but I can't. It's not quite perfect.
The look, weight, feel, and trigger are very nice. The 5" rifled barrel should provide pinpoint accuracy.
There are, however, a few tiny design issues. The sights are fixed, the co2 screw tab is plastic and recessed, the rotary mags fall of the magazine. The false trigger safety is a missed opportunity. These are all very minor and don't really take anything away from this gun.
The big problem is the amount of slop the slide has. Particularly at the business end. The front sight will be in a different spot every shot. A simple bushing, even a plastic one, would have made this a truly awesome gun.
Perhaps, in the spirit of this piece, one could machine a bushing and add the odd shim here and there. Maybe a steel guide rod.
That is my take. It's very handsome. It fits nicely in my hand. It's pretty efficient. And despite my whining, it still keeps a 2" group at 20 ft. An excellent start

One if the best!
Bang for buck this is my top pick. Very nice snappy kick for a bb pistol. Very easy trigger pull too. This checks all the boxes: metal slide, full mag, bb & pellet, blowback, etc AND comes in on a budget price. It's not as "realistic" as say the Sig P226 X-Five but performs arguably just as well.
Would recommend this or the Glock 19 to a first time buyer or budget buyer.

A fun autloader pistol that has accuracy + blowback
I was looking for a very specific pistol, one that had:
-Semi-Auto, self cocking
-Pellet, not BB
-Rifled Barrel
-Blowback
Finding a pistol that fit this criteria was tough. I settled on this one, since it met all the criteria and I could get it here for 100 bucks CDN on sale. There were others, but they were almost triple the price.
This thing is a TON OF FUN to shoot.
So far I have had this pistol for less than a week and I cant put it down. After a dozen 12g's through it, I find I am getting 72 shots from one 12g CO2 (9 8-shot clips). I did notice near the end, I had to give the magazine/CO2 holder a chance to warm up between clips to keep the gun firing. Even after 6 clips, I clocked 365fps. Grouping is good considering pressure fluctuations causes fliers. Clips 2 and 3 produced best grouping of the 9 clips per 12g
For maintenance, I made sure the slides are well oiled. You don't want friction there. Also the hammer needed a dab of grease where the slide kicks it back. Otherwise, it's flawless (so far).
My only dislike is the non-adjustable sights. Thus the "4" for accuracy.
PS- my brother likes it so much he is getting one for himself :)

HARD HITTER!
Bought this for the looks and the price but did not expect this to shoot hard and i'm loving it! My only note is loading the bbs... the copper seems loose in the plastic holder. the silver bbs - some tend to be a bit bigger... the pellets fit perfectly. Blowback to strong and crisp. Great gun; very good price!

I have been having a hard time getting my hands on the Umarex SA10 CO2 Blowback Pellet and BB Pistol to do a review for everyone. It's been a rather low stock item. We have had it in a couple of times but not in a lot of quantity and since the demand has been higher than the supply the Umarex SA10 CO2 Blowback Pellet and BB Pistol tends to be out of stock most of the time! Hopefully that changes in the future?
This YouTube video is a Preview video only for the Umarex SA10 CO2 Blowback Pellet and BB Pistol so I do not go over a lot, I sim,ply show you around the gun and take a look at the packaging and any info on the packaging. My Future Table Top Video Review will have a lot more details along with a full field strip of the Umarex SA10 CO2 Blowback Pellet and BB Pistol...

Hopefully we are back in business after the YouTube Attack on Airgun channels. I'm still waiting for YouTube to get back to me on the video that they put a strike on. I did appeal the Strike but so far YouTube has not responded...
We must push forward and so here is my first video back and it's a good one! If you haven't already watched my Table Top Review of the Umarex SA10 CO2 Blowback Pellet and BB Pistol, make sure to check it out for details and some nice up and close video of this fine dual ammo CO2 air pistol.
As always during my indoor Sea Can Field Test Shooting videos, I first test out the velocity of each gun. Since the Umarex SA10 CO2 Blowback Pellet and BB Pistol can shoot both 4.5mm Steel BB's and .177 caliber pellets I tested both ammo types using my Chrony Chronograph. I fired three shots of each ammo to get an average fps velocity. Interestingly the heavier 6.9 grain lead pellets had the higher average velocity of 376 fps versus 304 fps with 5.1 grain Steel BB's. I have a feeling the lead pellets fit the barrel more snug and did not let any of the CO2 blow by creating more back pressure and a higher velocity.
